One Reddit user said: “This is the most direct way to let Disney know if you are unhappy with his leadership, at least more so than complaining on Reddit or signing an online petition. It may seem insignificant, and will likely not be successful in removing him directly, but recall that Michael Eisner lost 43% of the vote in 2004 after Roy E. Disney lead a campaign to oust him and he was removed shortly thereafter. We can do this again.”
Some have said the magic is gone. Others have gone on to say you don’t want to go to a theme park to wait two hours for attractions. Many miss the FastPass+ system and think that is fairer to Guests instead of paying extra for Disney Genie+ and additional Lightning Lane attractions.
